Treatment for anorexia nervosa

Anorexia nervosa is a complex eating disorder characterized by self-starvation, an unhealthy body weight, an intense fear of weight gain, and a distorted body image. Anorexia has the highest mortality rate of all mental health conditions and is a serious illness that requires immediate professional help.

At Paracelsus Recovery, we provide a comprehensive anorexia treatment program. Our number one priority is to understand your relationship with food and treat the underlying issues contributing to the eating disorder.

We provide extensive psychoeducation during the treatment program to help you address these factors and understand the reality of your mental health condition. Other components of the bespoke program include psychiatry, psychotherapy, nutritional counseling, biochemical restoration, and numerous complementary therapies. A live-in therapist will also stay in a self-contained section of your chosen residence. The live-in therapist will be available for emotional support and therapeutic assistance 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

We provide treatment for anorexia nervosa in Zurich and in London.

Behavioral signs of anorexia include

  • Dramatic, and often dangerous (but not always), weight loss.
  • Obsessive preoccupation with weight, calories, food, dieting, and fat grams.
  • Increasing refusal to eat certain foods or categories of food.
  • Frequent feelings or comments about feeling fat despite weight loss.
  • Distorted perception of one’s body and an intense fear of weight gain.
  • Feelings of failure, disgust, shame, guilt, and low self-esteem.
  • Rigid thinking and a strong need to control.
  • Excessive sleep and a lack of interest in once-loved activities or events.
  • Increasing social isolation.
  • A lack of emotional capacity or expression, feeling ‘numb’ a lot of the time.

Physical symptoms of anorexia

  • Menstrual irregularities or complete loss of periods.
  • Excessive hair growth on the chest, face, and arms.
  • Dizziness and fainting.
  • Feeling cold all the time.
  • Dry skin, bruising easily, and poor wound healing.
  • Frequent illnesses due to a weakened immune system.
  • Swelling of the feet or cold, mottled hands.

One of the most significant barriers to treatment for someone suffering from anorexia is the body dysmorphia that the condition brings, whereby the sufferer often cannot see themselves as dangerously thin. Instead, they perceive their weight as either ideal or completely normal and may not believe they need help. It can therefore be difficult for the sufferer to understand when loved ones try to encourage them to seek help, leading to the individual distrusting those around them.

Understanding anorexia nervosa

Individuals with anorexia usually suffer from profound perfectionism and a harsh ‘inner critic’ leading to feelings of immense guilt, shame, distress, and low self-esteem. Self-starvation can become a way of keeping these feelings from overwhelming the individual. If the body is in a state of starvation, the brain will focus its attention on food rather than these negative feelings, resulting in the person feeling ‘free’ from these emotions, anxieties, and pain. These patterns of behavior and thoughts can make starvation addictive for some individuals.
